Guy Harvey Outpost Resorts recently announced it has partnered with two Ecuadorean hotel owners to enter the Galapagos Islands.

The Fort Lauderdale-based hotel branding company said Thursday it’s planting Outpost flags on the islands of San Cristobal and Isabella, located in the Galapagos archipelago some 600 miles off Ecuador.

On San Cristobal, the company plans to open a new 30-unit eco-lodge — Guy Harvey Outpost Lodge, Galapagos Islands, which will be offer panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean and fields where giant turtles roam.

The eco-lodge, which is being developed by Miramar-based Arturo Hidalgo Keyser and three partners at a cost of about $8 million, is expected to open in early 2016, said Guy Harvey Outpost President Mark Ellert.

The company also put its flag on the recently opened 14-room boutique hotel Iguana Crossing on Isabella, which was ranked the top lodging property in the Galapagos by TripAdvisor.

“I know of no other tourism company operating in the Galapagos that has a scientist and conservation authority as its chairman, and a research institute as a brand partner,” said Ellert.
